PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure

Bugs

PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would be better if it could
       look up the correct key and certificate from a database.

       The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also
       applies to PKCS7_verify().

Description

PKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure. pkey is the
       private key of the recipient, cert is the recipients certificate, data is a BIO to write the content to
       and flags is an optional set of flags.

Name

       PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure

Notes

       Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed to locate the
       appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the PKCS#7 structure.

       The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.

       If the PKCS7_TEXT flag is set MIME headers for type text/plain are deleted from the content. If the
       content is not of type text/plain then an error is returned.

Return Values

PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure.  The error can be obtained from
       ERR_get_error(3)
